** Ed.M. students do NOT have to fill out the "supplementary pink form".
With regard to all Ed.M. program requirements, please note:
- Copies are important! It is highly recommended that students keep personal copies of all paperwork submitted to TC offices. Copies of all forms submitted to the Registrar should ALSO be filed in the student file in the IED/CIE program office. This is the responsibility of every student.
- Read the weekly "Notes from 374 Grace Dodge Hall" for important updates and deadlines.
- Contact the IED/CIE Program Assistant with questions:
Phone: (212) 678-3184
Fax: (212) 678-8237
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
1. Coursework (at least 60 graduate level credits, including up to 30 transferred credits). Students are encouraged to use the "Course Planning Worksheet for Master of Education Students" to plan out all coursework.
- Ed.M. coursework falls into four broad areas:
- Area 1: Core Courses (9 credits)
- Choose one: ITSF 4090 (Issues and Institutions in International Educational Development) or ITSF 4091 (Comparative Education)
- ITSF Research Methods Course
- One other advisor-approved ITSF course
- Area 2: Concentration (at least 18 credits)
- Courses counting towards the concentration must be advisor-approved.
- Students considering a change in concentration must discuss the change with the faculty advisor.
- Consult the "General Student Course Guide" for suggestions on courses that fall within each concentration.
- In some cases, transferred credits may be applied in this area.
- Area 3: Transcultural/Area Studies (at least 18 credits)
- Area 3 courses must come from at least three of the following categories: topics, research methods, professional skills, internship/practicum.
- Consult the "General Student Course Guide" for suggestions on courses that fall within this area.
- Transferred credits may be applied in this area.
- Area 4: Electives (at least 15 credits)
- To fulfill the TC breadth requirement, Ed.M. students must take at least 3 courses (with a minimum of 2 credits each) that are at TC but outside of the IED/CIE program. All non-ITSF courses at TC that are two or more credits can count as TC breadth electives. Courses offered by other programs within the ITS department (anthropology, economics, or bilingual/bicultural education) can also count as TC breadth electives if they are outside of the student's concentration.
- Other elective courses can be taken outside of the ITS department or transferred from other schools.
- Advisement: It is the student's responsibility to meet with his/her main advisor and have all coursework approved. It is recommended that students meet with the advisor at least once at the beginning of each semester to discuss course offerings and receive approval of all study plans.
- Choosing courses: It is recommended that students sit in on different courses during the first two weeks of any semester. For suggestions of courses, students may ask the main advisor, the Peer Advisor, or the IED/CIE Program Assistant. Also, speaking with fellow students is a good way to learn about courses being offered.
- Registering for courses: Students may add or drop courses until the date posted by the Registrar (refer to the TC Academic Calendar) through the online Student Information System using the PIN number. Students can obtain the PIN from the IED/CIE Program Assistant at Orientation or from the Registrar.
- Courses Outside of TC: All courses taken outside TC are subject to the tuition rates of the school offering the course. Consult the Registrar for current rates and for instructions on how to register.
- Transfer credit: A maximum of 30 credits may be transferred from other recognized institutions. Only graduate courses which have been (1) completed with grades of B or higher, (2) submitted on an official transcript from a regionally accredited institution, and (3) granted/assigned credit on the transcript of that institution, may be considered for transfer credit. Transfer credit is awarded at the discretion of the faculty advisor. After registering for the first semester, students should obtain and fill out an Advanced Standing Review (ASR) application from the Admissions Office and return it to the Admissions Office. Transcripts will be evaluated and sent to the IED/CIE Program Assistant, who will then contact the student with further instructions to pick it up from the IED/CIE Program Assistant, meet with the advisor, and return the ASR to the IED/CIE Program Assistant. The entire process can take several months.
- Full v. part-time status and Certificates of Equivalency (COE): Part-time status is the equivalent of 6-11 credits. Full-time status is the equivalent of 12 or more credits. Part-time students who require full-time certification (for such reasons as funding/financial aid, international student status, IP fieldwork) may file a Certificate of Equivalency form. This must be signed by the student's advisor and may be obtained online or in person from the Registrar.
2. Integrative Project (IP)
- Completion of an IP is required for the Ed.M. degree. Please see the handout in the IED/CIE office on IP Requirements for more details.
- Students should consult with the advisor about the IP at least one semester before the intended graduation date. After the IP topic has been approved, the Peer Advisor is available to guide students through the completion of the IP.
- Students who are working on the IP but not registered for any other classes may register for IND 4000 (Masters Candidate).
3. Graduation
- Full-time students that transfer the full thirty credits can complete the Ed.M. degree within one academic year (fall semester, spring semester, and one summer session).
- In order to graduate, students need to submit the "Ed.M. Degree Application to Graduate" to the Registrar, which needs to be signed by the advisor. Students may contact the Registrar for forms and specific deadlines.

I have been using boost::serialization recently, and I am currently trying to get a better understanding of the design choices made in this library by experimenting with my own simplistic serializer.
And the first problem I am running into is const-correctness.
I am working on non-intrusive serialization, for I think this is the most conveninent. User code has to partially specialize a template like this:
template<class Archive, class Object> void serialize(Archive & a, Object & o) {
// ...
template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & a, my_class & c) {
a & c.x;
a & c.y;
And the serialization mechanism will instanciate a version with load_archive and save_archive if needed. For saving, the operator & of the archive takes a const reference to an object, and the loading one takes non-const. But the problem is that the partial specialization cannot handle both const and non-const versions. And I don't want to require the two specializations to be written by the "user", because this is error-prone.
So for now, I am using const_cast to always send a volative reference to the serialize functions, but this doesn't look very clean. The operators in the archive classes are const-correct, but nothing prevents "user code" from modifying the object…
From what I have seen, boost also casts to non-const, but I was wondering if there was some other way around.

Michelin open to F1 comeback – with 18-inch rims
Aug 27, 2013, 10:00 AM EDT
Michelin director Pascal Couasnon says the French tire manufacturer could be open to an F1 return in 2014 – providing the sport changes its wheel rim size.
Strict rules on Formula One wheel sizes force teams to use 13-inch wheels which are considerably smaller than those seen in other racing series. Couasnon told Le Figaro Michelin would prefer to use 18-inch wheel rims if it returned to F1.
This is not the first time Michelin has mooted an F1 comeback but stipulated it must come with a concession on wheel size. It made similar noises in 2010, when Bridgestone was poised to quit the sport, but F1 eventually chose to stick with 13-inch wheels and appoint Pirelli as official tire suppliers.
The obstacles to an increase in wheel rim size are the same now as they were then. The change in size would force a costly re-think of suspension configurations and potentially put gearboxes under greater strain.
Teams are unlikely to swallow such a major shake-up in the technical rules at this late stage in the year. Particularly when they are already grappling with the cost and complexity of the new power trains.
Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has ruled out Michelin making a return. He is believed to have signed a new advertising deal with Pirelli which extends beyond the end of this season.
It is the FIA's decision who will be awarded the F1 tire contract. But it is doubtful a rival constructor would want to supply tires to a series which is already contracted to advertise Pirelli's product in future seasons.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Tour focuses on local companies and history of the Ferry Building. The tastings were more than generous, so it is best to go hungry and try to pace yourself. I ended up returning to the Ferry Building and buying items from most of the companies we learned about.
Doing what: San Francisco Food Tour: Ferry Building and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
We rented 2 GoCars for some friends that came into town. It was actually a lot of fun and despite some of the negative reviews about breaking down, thank goodness we didn't. I was also concerned with how big the GoCar was. One of the guys is a tall 6'3 but he fit perfectly. Any taller may have been uncomfortable. Parking was still a pain but probably could fit 3 in one space, tightly. The parking garage charged us motorcycle rate which was nice, but you may want to mention it. We zipped all over San Fran and we loved the GPS/tour guide. Some good information historically. The GoCar was easy to get adjusted. I can't even tell you how many pictures were taking pictures of us, we made sure to pose. haha! It was a lot of fun. We rented for 3 hours and it was perfect. We also rented on a Monday and thought traffic would be less which it probably was but not from the Ferry Building down to the Wharf...if you can avoid it, I would. It's a lot of bus exhaust. Overall, it was an awesome adventure and very happy we did. I also suggest upgrading to the higher power cars. Climbing those San Fran hills...the extra $15 was totally worth it!
Doing what: San Francisco GoCar Tour
This tour gave a great overview and history of the Ferry Building, as well as specifics about some of the vendors, and of course, delicious tastings from many of the businesses located there. Our guide, Sophia, was very knowledgeable about the market and the food offerings. This tour does not require lots of walking--just within the building itself and along the Farmer's Market. I would highly recommend this tour!
Doing what: San Francisco Food Tour: Ferry Building and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
Taking a food tour is a must-do for me every time I visit a city. The Ferry Building is a gourmand's delight, and while it will be doable to explore it on your own, joining a tour enabled us to go to the best places and get the samples that one normally does not get to enjoy unless you're with a tour. With the tour being on a Saturday, we were able to see the HUGE Saturday market just outside the building - San Francisco's biggest market, if I heard correctly.
Our tour guide Sophia deftly led us to the best morsels - starting with organic preserves - apricots, peach, orange marmalade - the best, with a higher fruit to sugar ratio. Then we moved on to pickled carrots (mmm..... I wanted a bloody mary to go with it). We had a blueberry pastry that was piping hot and to die for. Then a sourdough bread from no other than Acme bakery with cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery - the first cheese we sampled was like butter smeared on bread - how can anything taste so simple yet so good? The next one was a lot more pungent, but we all loved it! Then we had a salami sampling (I had to go back for more after the tour), several chocolate samplings from a couple of places. We tasted several honeys, and for the piece de resistance, a maccaron. So, so, so good!
It is a good idea not to eat anything substantial for breakfast (I didn't eat any at all) because I guarantee you that you will be quite full when the tour concludes.
The best part of it is that at the end of the tour, I was able to go back to all these places and shopped away, knowing exactly where to go and what to buy.

Spend a Sunday morning here. Good coffee, good people watching, lovely views of the bay.
This was my wife's 65 birthday gift, a weekend in San Francisco, room at the Westin, enjoying great restaurants in different sections of the city. The two day Hop on, Hop Off tour was a disaster, continually off schdeule. We called the company several times and was assured that the bus would be at the location shortly, the bus was always, 30 or more minutes late. Several times we would be standing on the corner, waving our hands, the the bus would just pass us by. The second day was the last straw. We had lunch at the Slanted Door in the Ferry Building, I checked the schedule called the company to verify the time and stop location and we proceeded to walk to the Alcatraz Stop. The bus never arrived so I called the company again to confirm the time and location. The agent assured me that a bus would arrive within 30 minutes. After waiting another 45 minutes, I called again. A bus would be there shortly I was assurred, and in fact one did arrive, however, that bus was only going to their headquarters, not to Union Square were we departed from. The bus driver said he was finished for the day and suggested that we take the street trolley at our expense. So we did that, trying to enjoy the rest of what should have been a special weekend. It is one thing to be late, another to just lie about services that they advertise to provide. I don't know how this company can stay in business. I would not recommend this company. This was a two day disappointment for us.

Comprises the territory of the Department of Landes. It was a suffragan of Auch under the old regime, but was not re-established until 1822, when it was again made a suffragan of the re-established Archdiocese of Auch, and was assigned the territory of the former Dioceses of Aire and Acqs (Dax). The first bishop mentioned in history is Marcellus (represented at the Council of Agde, 506). Aire, on the river Adour, the home of St. Philibert, numbered among its bishops during the second half of the sixteenth century François de Foix, Count of Candale, an illustrious mathematician, who translated Euclid and founded a chair of mathematics at the University of Bordeaux. The hamlet renowned as the birthplace of St. Vincent de Paul is within the limits of the present Diocese of Aire. In the Gallo-Roman crypt of Mas d'Aire is preserved in a sarcophagus the body of St. Quitteria, daughter of a governor of Gallicia, and martyred, perhaps under Commodus, for her resolution to remain a virgin. The city of Saint-Sever, in the Diocese of Aire. owes its origin to an ancient Benedictine abbey, built in the tenth century by a Duke of Gascony as an act of thanksgiving for a victory over the Northmen, and whose church was dedicated to St. Severus. The beautiful Gothic church of Mimizan is the only survival of a great Benedictine abbey. The church of Carcarés, dating from the year 810, is one of the oldest in France. The Diocese of Aire comprised (end of 1905), 291,586 inhabitants, 28 first class, 293 second class parishes, and 40 vicariates formerly with State subventions.

Cynical users make it hard to be helpful
It was with sadness, though not much surprise, that I learned the homeless-and-barefoot fellow who caught the sympathetic eye of a Manhattan cop is actually a bit of a fraud.
He apparently has dibs on some government benefits (which will be expanded if President Obama has his way,) an apartment somewhere in New York, family members who want to take him in and an admirable appreciation for the free market.

" And just like the rest of the animal kingdom any kindness will keep them coming back for more. Then you have declining property values, higher taxes, more crime. Compassion is not the answer. That is why law enforcement should knock the bums over the head and buy them bus tickets out of town. This would increase property values and make it a more desirable place to live or own a business.

Nobody studying the life of Jane Austen could easily confuse it with that of, say, Ernest Hemingway. Or William Burroughs. There was, in the daily round of the English novelist, a marked lack of hallucinogenic drugs, and her skills at big-game hunting were notoriously poor. "Of events her life was singularly barren," her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh wrote, adding, "Few changes and no great crisis ever broke the smooth current of its course." To the modern mind, of course, this is wholly unacceptable, and any decent literary agent would have counselled Miss Austen to devise at least a modicum of private scandal if she wanted to sell any books. Drunk driving could be tricky with a coach-and-four, and orgies can be hard to organize in a Hampshire rectory, especially in cold weather, so the makers of "Becoming Jane," a new movie about the author's formative years, have plumped for a more trusted option: the thwarted love affair.
We start in the early morning, with the hand of Jane (Anne Hathaway) filmed in closeup as it puts tentative pen to paper. Now aged around twenty, the writer-in-waiting is part of a busy household, and a glimpse of her parents, the Reverend George Austen (James Cromwell) and his wife (Julie Walters), shows just how busy they are. Unless I am much mistaken, what we observe is this learned man of God celebrating the dawn of another blessed day by going down on his good lady, who squeals with appropriate delight. The scene, though charming, entails a slight divergence from the habits of the actual Reverend Austen, whose idea of a wild time was to read aloud the poetry of William Cowper.
To be fair, the film does not flinch from recitation; everybody praises Jane when she declaims her latest piece of prose. The first hint of a more critical response comes when a gentleman, unfamiliar to Jane, bursts belatedly into one of her readings and later scorns her effort for its "juvenile self-regard." This is Thomas Lefroy (James McAvoy), a friend of her brother's, and he is, to the refined palates of the Austen circle, strong meat. We see him throwing his weight into a boxing match, with Jane, who has grown fond of her critic, both aghast at the violence and secretly willing him on.
That scene is groundless supposition, but there was a real Tom Lefroy, of an old Irish Protestant family. Jane mentions him two or three times in letters to her sister Cassandra (Anna Maxwell Martin), at the start of 1796: "I am almost afraid to tell you how my Irish friend and I behaved. Imagine to yourself everything most profligate and shocking in the way of dancing and sitting down together." We are not exactly in Patrick Swayze territory here, and, as always with Jane Austen, every attempt to pin her down as passionate is met (though never quite defeated) by a casual parry of wit. The same letter finds her admitting that she likes everything about Lefroy except the color of his coat. Five days later comes this:
I rather expect to receive an offer from my friend in the course of the evening. I shall refuse him, however, unless he promises to give away his white Coat.
What is that? A declaration of love, or an unpicking of love's pretensions? When the two young people go their separate ways, as they do a short while later, does that mean the fadeout of a flirtation or a tragedy of unmendable loss? For the director of "Becoming Jane," Julian Jarrold, and his screenwriters, Kevin Hood and Sarah Williams, there is no contest: the whole film, though dotted with passable jokes and packed—this being period drama—with long-gowned maidens hoofing about the dance floor, builds up to a climactic grief, with the middle-aged Lefroy encountering Austen and letting her know, through the moistness of his eyes and the graying of his whiskers, that he mourns What Might Have Been.
For any Austen reader, this sadness will be hard to share. Lefroy rose to become Chief Justice of Ireland, and the idea that Jane might have married him, and spent her days organizing soirées for the legal profession instead of sitting peacefully at home writing about Emma Woodhouse, is dreadful to contemplate. This film, however, is not directed at Austen readers. It is directed at moviegoers who, having feasted on large-screen adaptations of her major novels, will not be fobbed off with pedantic protestations that there are no more to adapt. The solution is simple: with the fiction exhausted, why not turn to the life of the fictioneer, and treat it as if it were a book in the first place?
Once you admit that the Jane Austen depicted onscreen bears scant relation to any person named Jane Austen, living or dead, the film fulfills its purpose. I had never before considered her as a cricketer, for instance, and I am fairly sure that she never sought to elope, but I enjoyed both inventions—the one bucolic and triumphant, the other sodden and frustrated, and presumably meant as a precursor to Lydia's running away with Wickham in "Pride and Prejudice." Mind you, anyone as ripe and seductive as Anne Hathaway would have found herself eloping on a weekly basis, and one could argue that other, more contemporary, performances of hers—as the hapless novice in "The Devil Wears Prada," or even as Jake Gyllenhaal's wife in "Brokeback Mountain," losing all eagerness as she realizes that she will never be loved by her mate, yet still putting on a polished front—dug deeper into Austen's enduring concerns than any of the flummery in "Becoming Jane."
James McAvoy was last seen as the doctor in "The Last King of Scotland," and he, likewise, seemed more comfortable in modern dress; there is something puckish and pushy about him, a hardness in his charm, that sits uneasily in the days of velvet, breeches, and boots. The one actor who looks at ease in those times is Ian Richardson, who plays Judge Langlois, Lefroy's disapproving guardian. The fact that such a fine Shakespearean was best known in America for his Grey Poupon commercials is a matter of infinite regret; we are left with the memory of his dapper and devious Bill Haydon, in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," and now with his heavy-wigged cameo in "Becoming Jane," the last film he completed before his death. "The ironical little authoress" is the Judge's verdict on Jane Austen. Behind his condescension there is fear, and behind the fear a twinge of recognition: he knows, looking down at the authoress, that he and all the clever gentlemen of England have finally met their match.

So this guide applies to both clients.
Anytime you have a new Windows system, one of the first things to do is create a bootable repair disc or flash drive. Windows 8 has two approaches to creating emergency recovery media, one new and one left over from Windows 7. They are not obvious but here is how to find and use them. First, I'll show the new way.
Have you ever wanted a way to run a program or script automatically when the computer is shut down or when a user logs off? At the end of the day you may want to do some computer housekeeping or back up some regularly used files. Although automatically running a program at startup is easy, how to run something at shutdown is less obvious. It turns out that many Windows versions have a built-in way to do this and this is how it works.
Ever try to delete, move, or rename a file only to get a Windows system warning with something like one of these messages?
Sometimes, things just don't work right and you need to boot into Safe Mode, where only a minimum of drivers and Windows components are loaded. A previous tip explained how to boot into safe mode for Windows XP/Vista/7 but Windows 8 has two new procedures. Here they are:

Officers responded to 273 Chestnut Hill Road on Dec. 6 for a report of a domestic incident, and following an investigation, police concluded that the complainant, Jesse Sheldon, 31, had let 15 chickens and ducks starve to death.
According to Lt. Wakeman, Sheldon was taken into custody and held on a $7,500 bond due to the numerous counts involved.
"The chickens and ducks were in coops outside in the rear yard," Lt. Wakeman told Patch in an email.
"Animal Control was called in to assist the patrol officers with the investigation," Wakeman added. "The Accused indicated that he could no longer continue with the responsibility of caring for the chickens and ducks and stopped feeding them. He felt they had too many animals already between the birds and numerous dogs and cats, in addition to caring for their children."
Sheldon was released after posting bond and is scheduled to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Dec. 16. The domestic incident was a verbal argument and no charges were filed.

Insurance Requirement
UC Hastings requires all enrolled students to have health insurance coverage. UC Hastings has partnered with the University of California to offer students access to the University of California Student Health Insurance Plan for graduate students (UC SHIP). If you have other major medical health insurance comparable to UC SHIP and don't wish to have the advantages of dual coverage, then you can submit an online Health Insurance Waiver form to discontinue your enrollment in UC SHIP and receive a credit for the health insurance fee. Students who successfully waive UC SHIP must have proof of coverage by another medical health insurance plan that meets UC Hastings' minimum criteria.
All students are automatically enrolled in and billed for UC SHIP every Fall. Students who have successfully waived out of UC SHIP in the past, must re-submit new waivers every Fall.
What is the UC Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan (UC SHIP)?
UC SHIP is a comprehensive major medical insurance plan, providing medical, counseling, prescription, vision and dental services. The year-round plan, which uses the Anthem Blue Cross PPO network, is tailored to meet the health and wellness needs of graduate students. Remember, all students can use Student Health Services, whether they have UC SHIP or not.
Considering waiving out of Student Health Insurance?
If you already have health insurance coverage, and that insurance plan meets UC Hastings' minimum criteria, you may request to waive out of UC SHIP by submitting a waiver form online. Before you complete the waiver form, first verify your current insurance plan provides primary care and emergency care in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some insurance plans require that you visit their own network providers to receive care, and in some cases, such networks may not be available within the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you have verified that network coverage is available within the San Francisco Bay Area, please complete the waiver criteria worksheet (insert link here) prior to proceeding. If you do not have the answers to the questions listed on the worksheet, you should contact your insurance company to collect all the information prior to completing the online waiver form.
Waivers must be submitted each academic year.
If you did not waive SHIP for the Fall semester, you can still waive SHIP for the Spring/Summer semester.
The Waiver System opens on December 4, 2013.
The FINAL Waiver deadline is January 27, 2014
What are the requirements for waiving out of UC SHIP?
In order to waive enrollment in UC SHIP, you must have a medical insurance plan that meets ALL of the following UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA minimum health care criteria:
REMEMBER! You can submit the waiver form one time ONLY. After the waiver from is submitted, you will receive a "waiver Accepted" or "waiver Denied" page based on the answers provided on the waiver from. You will NOT be able to access the waiver system again to make any corrections, so it is important that you have all the correct information before submitting the waiver form.
The Waiver System is now open.
The FINAL Waiver deadline is January 27, 2014
Apply for the Insurance Waiver online.

Are Americans crazy for treating our pets like kids?
The shopping frenzy has begun. Sweaters, toys and cushy new beds.
All for "other" family members. The pets.
The season of giving inevitably prompts pet lovers (53% of dog owners and 38% of cat owners) to gift their animals, often lavishly, says a survey by the American Pet Products Association.
Obsessed with pets: When is it a problem?
Are some people over-the-top — in an unhealthy way — about their animals? Probably, says Waco, Texas, psychologist Julia Becker. But the number, she believes, is extremely small.
There may be a problem if a person:
-Perpetually neglects other relationships to give excessive time and attention to pets.
-Uses pets as an excuse to get out of doing other activities.
The most common issue:
People who insist on taking badly behaved or ill-trained pets to inappropriate places where they're not welcome. But that's not generally a sign of mania; that's self-absorption, probably evident in non-pet-related actions. "It's always unfortunate when people aren't respectful of others," says Becker, especially when it might fuel negative stereotypes about pet owners.
It also prompts the question: Is there something, well, weird about that?
According to a Kelton Research survey commissioned by Milo's Kitchen pet treats:
•81% regard their pets as full members of the family.
•58% call themselves their pets' "mommy" or "daddy."
•77% buy pets birthday gifts.
•More than half say they talk about pets more than politics or sex.
Well, grinches, here's what mental health professionals have to say about all this pet-loving goofiness: The blatant puppy love much of America is displaying does not spell the end of society as we know it, and the pet-obsessed are not pathetically off-kilter humans in need of intense therapy.
"What's the harm?" says Stanley Coren, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of British Columbia and a Psychology Today columnist on human-pet interactions. "Someone may go spend $20 on a rhinestone collar. That's pretty much the worst that will happen."
"Most people recognize, whatever endearments they use or actions they might take, that their pets are not furry humans," he concludes. But emotionally healthy humans have the "need to nurture," and pets are the perfect recipient. They return the favor of all the love, care and baby talk with their innate ability, proven in scientific studies, to reduce stress, speed healing, and improve humans' fitness and social-interaction levels.
It must further be noted, Coren says, that people's relationships with their pets generally have none of the "conflict that probably exists" in their relationships with humans. "Who can't use more of that sometimes?" he adds.
Although many think treating pets as family is brand new, it's centuries old, Coren says. In the 1700s, Frederick the Great, king of Prussia, was deeply devoted to his dogs, and when his greyhound Biche died, he wrote wrenchingly of his heartache: "It is best to be too sensitive than too hard." Playwright Eugene O'Neill didn't get along with his kids but adored his Dalmation Blemie, who had an Hermes raincoat and a four-poster bed. In Julius Caesar's time, women toting small bejeweled dogs about Rome was quite the rage.
"We tend as a society to be very contemporary-centric," believing the current population has invented every pattern of thought and deed, Coren says. The way he sees it, this magnificent obsession "is not a sea change, it's merely a trend."
Treating pets like family is "especially pervasive … among empty nesters, singles and/or childless, and the homebound," says Waco, Texas, psychologist Julia Becker. Those groups are growing because we're living longer, and also because so many people aren't having children. Her feeling about pet obsessions: "It's fun for the people who do it. There's nothing wrong with it."
Lexington, Ky., teacher Susan Sallee is unapologetic about her affection for her basset hound, Gerdi. She threw a party for Gerdi's first birthday in January, sends her to doggie daycare when she works late, and displays puppy photos at work. "Some people may think that's ridiculous," she says with the lack of defensiveness of a person confident in her choices.
Athough Sallee has a rich, full life, she's warmed by Gerdi's presence. She'll gift her at Christmas — probably new squeaky toys, gourmet holiday doggie cookies and possibly a new bed.
"It's my responsibility," Sallee says, "to give her a good life." And if what Gerdi has is beyond merely a "good life," Sallee sees that as tit for tat. "Gerdi gives so very much."

ALBANY - The state Department of Environmental Conservation says junior hunters will be able to hunt deer during a special youth firearms deer season over Columbus Day weekend.
"Implementation of this youth deer hunt is a hallmark moment for New York hunters and represents continued efforts of DEC to engage more young people in nature and outdoor recreation," DEC Commissioner Joe Martens said in a press release.
The youth deer hunt will take place Oct. 6-8 in both the Northern Zone and Southern Zone; a youth hunt was not established on Long Island due to restrictions in the Environmental Conservation Law. Junior hunters ages 14-15 with a big game hunting license will be eligible to take one deer of either sex with a firearm when properly accompanied by a licensed and experienced adult. Junior hunters may use a Deer Management Permit or Deer Management Assistance Program tag for an antlerless deer, or during the youth firearms season only, they may use their regular season tag to take a deer of either sex.
While there is pending legislation that may impact future youth hunts, until it has been acted on, DEC's regulations remain in effect. DEC also offers special opportunities for junior hunters ages 12-15 for waterfowl, wild turkey, and pheasants.
More information is available at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/46245.html.

FEARS have been raised that the NSW government's approval of Aldi selling alcohol at nine Hunter stores will set a precedent for liquor sales at service stations, convenience stores and other supermarkets.
Newcastle councillor Tim Crakanthorp said councils should require Aldi to lodge development modifications to sell liquor in its stores.
''It alters the use of the premises,'' Cr Crakanthorp said.
Lake Macquarie Cr Barry Johnston said Aldi had used a loophole in state law that allowed liquor sales as a retail use.
''They can do this without council approval,'' he said.
To read The Herald's opinion, click here.
Cr Crakanthorp said allowing Aldi to sell liquor would ''set a precedent for service stations, 7-Elevens and IGA supermarkets'' to sell liquor.
''It's a loophole that has to be closed,'' he said.
The Newcastle Herald recently reported that the state government had approved liquor sales at Aldi stores in Hamilton, Cooks Hill, Belmont, Cardiff, Cessnock, Raymond Terrace, East Maitland, Rutherford and Muswellbrook.
Council staff were consulted about the applications, but did not inform councillors.
A Newcastle council spokeswoman said councillors were only notified of alcohol-related development applications.
''There's so many different liquor-licence applications coming through, it's not really logical to notify them of every single one,'' the spokeswoman said.
A Lake Macquarie council statement said ''councillors are not notified during this process''.
''It is up to the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing to do a full assessment, identify possible issues and implications and make a determination,'' it said.
Newcastle and Lake Macquarie councils said liquor-licence applications were made public on the state liquor office's website.
Alcohol control advocate Tony Brown said the liquor-application process lacked transparency.
Cr Johnston said the matter was ''mainly a state government issue and a question of whether licensing laws should be revisited''.
''I would have liked council staff to let me know, but they were simply following process,'' Cr Johnston said.
An Aldi statement said liquor sales would be in a ''very small'' 40-square metre area that would be a ''clearly delineated and cordoned-off''.
''Unlike other supermarkets which sell alcohol, Aldi does not have separate, large-format stores,'' the statement said.

Even though sending text messages became an extremely used method of communication all over the world, not all people are very keen on spending the whole day with their phone stuck to their hands, looking at the small display they have. However, they cannot live disconnected; therefore, they need to be in connection with their friends and family who might be all using WhatsApp, the messaging service that conquered the world. Fortunately, although this app is only compatible with a large part of Smartphone, now it is possible to have WhatsApp for PC.
What You Must Know About Running WhatsApp on Windows or Mac
The firs information you have to be aware of is that the phone number you're going to use has to exist and cannot be fake. In addition, the number you create your WhatsApp for PC with, should be different from the one you are using on your mobile phone, in case you have mobile WhatsApp.
Secondly, although the installation is not even close to being difficult you ought to know that before you begin running WhatsApp on PC you should download one Android emulator because without that not Android App will function on your computer. What does an Android emulator do? Well, it brings the Android experience to your personal computer. Thanks to software like BlueStacks or YouWave, you have the possibility to enjoy many apps that were available only on your mobile phone, like WhatsApp for Windows or Mac.
Once you have BlueStacks installed on your computer, you must download and install WhatsApp for PC. You shouldn't confront any difficulties and complete the process quite fast. Next thing to be done is to configure WhatsApp on PC. That means that you need to insert your phone number, follow the activation directions, and you're done.
Once the procedure is finalized all you have left to do is to begin adding your contacts because WhatsApp for PC does not do that automatically as the mobile service does. Therefore, you are supposed to do it manually.
That would be all you are required to do in order to begin using WhatsApp on Windows or Mac.

The Great Migration photo tour - March 2014
Can you have too much of a good thing? Well in some instances certainly yes, but in others definitely no. I've just returned from the Serengeti, somewhere I've been lucky enough to visit numerous times during the past two decades and on each occasion it has delivered amazing wildlife experiences that have not diminished or been tarnished over the years. Each trip serves up different highlights, and never have I come away feeling it wasn't as good as last time or thinking simply isn't what it used to be.
The annual migration of 1½ million wildebeest and ¾ million zebra remains one of those 'must see' events for any wildlife enthusiast or photographer. It's often justifiably been called the 'greatest wildlife show on earth'. So often TV documentaries… Read on

Low blood-sugar levels make for grousing spouses
Husbands and wives reported being most unhappy with their spouses when their blood-sugar levels were lowest, usually at night, according to research released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Missing a meal, dieting or just being hungry may be the reason, researchers said.

that are comfortable and have a remote/mic that work on the bionic? thanks
The Sony Bluetooth DRBT100CX does look nice and would fit the bill I guess. The bulkiness is probably mostly due to the battery.
Is there any WIRED ear buds that provide the same functionality on a remote?
I love my Moto S705. I'm on my second one, first lasted 3 years of working outside. They use 3.5mm earbuds, so you can use your favorites. Caller id and FM radio as well as the features your looking for.

The 1/2" is more probably a nominal 5/8" (5/8" before sanded), as 1/2" ply never met US building codes. Adding another layer, keep in mind that the grain must run across the joists, not along them for maximum strength. It can be hard to screw a second layer to a thin one under it without stripping the screws out - you may need to predrill pilot holes in the first layer should you choose to add that second layer. Depending on what you're planning for the rest of the room, that thicker subfloor there may mean the tub edge will be hard to make look good.
To me, it would sort of depend on what the bottom of the tub looked like. If it had only a few small feet, I'd want more subflooring, but if it's fairly flat or has lots of support area, and based on their installation instructions saying it will work, I may not add more. Is the new tub going in the same location as the old one? If it worked, the new one should. If the tub bottom isn't flat or the tub doesn't sit level, you may want to embed it in mortar which will make it feel more substantial and spread the load out.

In the closing days of his losing campaign for Virginia's governorship, Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli called the contest a referendum on Affordable Health Care. Virginia voter Lee Killen saw it instead as a referendum on the tea party — and he voted no.
Killen, a Republican-turned-independent from Fairfax, cast his ballot for Terry McAuliffe less to endorse the Democrat than to lodge a protest against the small-government movement he said has hijacked his former party.
"I don't particularly like McAuliffe, but I went with him basically because I disagree with the tea party approach to life — no compromise, no middle ground," Killen, 70, a retired software engineer, said in an interview just after casting his vote Tuesday. "Cuccinelli has been a tea party leader from the very beginning, and those values are not my values."
It's that dynamic as much as any other that tipped the balance in Virginia against Republicans, carrying McAuliffe, 56, the former national party chairman and fundraiser, to victory. He had 48 percent of the vote to Cuccinelli's 46 percent, with 99 percent of the precincts reporting in the Associated Press tally.
The same forces were at play in Alabama, where business- backed Bradley Byrne defeated tea party-aligned rival Dean Young in the Republican primary for a special House election next month to fill an open seat. Byrne drew 52 percent of the vote to Young's 48 percent, with all precincts reporting in the AP tally.
The victory margin for McAuliffe in the Virginia race was narrower than public polls had projected as Robert Sarvis, a third-party libertarian candidate who pre-election surveys showed drawing support ranging from 8 to 12 percentage points, received 6.6 percent of the vote.
McAuliffe's win makes him the first candidate of a sitting president's party in 40 years to win Virginia's governorship, handing Democrats control of a politically competitive state whose demographics reflect an increasingly diverse U.S. electorate.
Cuccinelli, 45, was defiant in defeat, saying his loss wasn't an indicator of a lack of support for his principles.
"Despite being outspent by an unprecedented $15 million, this race came down to the wire because of Obamacare," he said in a concession speech in Richmond. "Constitutional conservatism and free-market ideas are alive in Virginia."
McAuliffe framed his win as an endorsement of bipartisanship.
"This election was never a choice between Democrats and Republicans, it was a choice about whether Virginia would continue the mainstream, bipartisan tradition that has served us so well," he told supporters at a victory party in suburban Washington.
The race, which hit high gear amid last month's 16-day partial federal government shutdown driven by tea party activists in Congress and the botched rollout of the 2010 health-care law, became a test case for the two parties' reputations, policy arguments and weaknesses one year out from midterm congressional elections. It also served as a cautionary tale for Republicans about the limits of the tea party's appeal.
"I used to be a Republican, but since the tea party has come into the Republican Party, I just can't — they're too extreme," said Steven Feusier, 62, another Fairfax resident who voted for McAuliffe. He said he backed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012 and outgoing Republican Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell in 2009 yet couldn't bring himself to support Cuccinelli.
Feusier isn't thrilled with the health-care measure — in the days before he cast his vote, he tried several times without success to log onto the website to enroll in the newly created insurance exchange. Yet an automated call from Cuccinelli's campaign citing the law's flaws wasn't enough to persuade him that the Republican was worth supporting.
"That's really the overriding thing: He's too extreme, he's not willing to compromise, and all that other stuff just isn't convincing in light of that," Feusier said.
In the Alabama Republican primary, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce decided to weigh in after Young spotlighted his opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage and said there was no need to raise the government's debt ceiling, which would have risked a U.S. default.
The chamber spent more than $200,000 to support Byrne, as Rob Engstrom, the chamber's national political director, called the contest a way to send a message that it will seek to defeat Republicans who don't share its economic interests.
Young was endorsed by a Mobile, Ala.-based tea party group, Common Sense Campaign, and Reno-based Our Voice Pac, a super political action committee founded by former Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle that spent $65,000 on ads promoting his candidacy. Angle lost her 2010 race to Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader.
Byrne will face Democrat Burton LeFlore, a 47-year-old Mobile real estate agent, in a Dec. 17 special election in a district that backed Romney over President Obama in 2012.
The Virginia contest was driven by more than strongly held opinions about the tea party.
It was a race featuring two unpopular candidates, each roiled by ethics allegations, and dominated by attack television advertising. Cuccinelli bore the brunt of the negative media as McAuliffe raised more money than him — $34 million compared with $19 million — and outside Democratic groups piled on with more ads while divided Republicans held back.
Preliminary exit polls showed Cuccinelli underperforming McDonnell's 2011 showing among Republicans and independents. He lost self-described moderates to McAuliffe by 21 percent, drawing support from about one-third of them, 13 percentage points less than McDonnell.
He lost women to McAuliffe by 8 percentage points, receiving support from 42 percent to the Democrat's 50 percent. One fifth of the voters named abortion as their top issue, and McAuliffe won them by a two-to-one margin.
The outcomes in Virginia and Alabama — along with Republican Gov. Chris Christie's re-election romp in heavily Democratic New Jersey after a campaign in which he touted his bipartisan appeal — mirror what recent national polls show is a broader repudiation of the tea party and its unbending approach.
"The tea party has lost a lot of support over time, and now in our polling, we have found the most negative views for the tea party that we've found since we started measuring" three years ago, said Carroll Doherty, an associate director at Pew Research Center for the People and the Press in Washington.
In the center's poll conducted Oct. 9-13, 49 percent had an unfavorable view of the tea party compared with 30 percent who had a positive impression. That was a marked decline in popularity driven mostly by moderate and liberal Republicans, only 27 percent of whom had a favorable view of the movement, compared to 46 percent six months ago. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.
"A lot of this backlash among moderate Republicans has to do with tactics, specifically related to the government shutdown and trying to tie health care to it," Doherty said. The shift raises this question, he said: "Can the tea party actually recover that ground among people who really moved in a negative direction?"
A George Washington University Battleground Poll conducted Oct. 27-31 also found the tea party faring poorly across all groups, with 42 percent having a "strongly unfavorable" view. Fifty-four percent of respondents had a negative impression, including 30 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of independents.
Among self-described moderates, the tea party brand was particularly weak, with 56 percent viewing them negatively. The survey's margin of error was plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
"Being called a tea-party Republican is no longer a compliment in the public's mind," Democratic pollster Celinda Lake said in discussing the battleground survey. "There's really intense negative toward the tea party, and even Republicans blame the tea party."
The dilemma for Republicans is that the movement, which mobilized in 2009 to protest the health-care law and the stimulus-driven economic recovery pushed by Obama, comprises a vital portion of its core support network.
"The Republican Party cannot exist without the tea party. It's the base of the party. They're the people who are going to go out and work," said Republican strategist Greg Mueller. "If Republicans want to have a chance of winning back the Senate in 2014, they're going to have to smoke the peace pipe with the tea party and conservatives — to stop ostracizing them and find a way to start energizing them."
In a sign that the intraparty fight isn't over, some activists argued that Cuccinelli's loss stemmed from his unwillingness to embrace and vigorously defend his conservative record on social issues.
"Cuccinelli ran totally ineffectual, soft-focus positive ads, that left the charge of abortion extremism unrebutted, and failed to make McAuliffe pay a price for his pro-abortion extremism," said Frank Cannon, president of American Principles in Action.
Some tea party leaders were energized by Cuccinelli's narrower-than-forecast loss, perhaps foretelling an even fiercer civil war among Republicans in the coming year. Tea Party Express Chairwoman Amy Kremer, who is based in Georgia, said Cuccinelli's defeat showed the enduring strength of the movement she helped found and the political potency of opposition to the health care law.
The Virginia outcome, she said, "should be a warning shot not only for the Democrats in 2014, but for the Republican Party and the establishment, because we are stronger than ever and we are going to be very active" in next year's congressional elections.

Statement on Pluralism and Conversion Bill in Israel
Read the JRF Statement on the Gaza Flotilla Incident
A Statement from the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation [January 16, 2009]
We are deeply saddened that violence has once again engulfed Israelis and Palestinians. We share in the fear and loss experienced by Israelis caught in rocket fire from Hamas and are also concerned with the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We stand with the people of Israel in this time of crisis and support the right of Israel to do everything necessary to protect its population. We support all efforts to negotiate a meaningful, lasting resolution of the current conflict that will provide true security for Israel's citizens. We decry criticisms of Israel that devolve into hate speech and anti-Semitic attacks on the Jewish people and on Israel's right to exist.
While the ultimate resolution of the current conflict depends on the decisions of Israel and of Hamas, this crisis is an opportunity to become educated about the history of the Israel-Palestinian conflict; to work to maintain open and respectful debate of the issues; and to support humanitarian efforts that aid victims on both sides – Israeli citizens living in communities in the south and the civilians of Gaza caught in the cross fire. Our thoughts are also with IDF soldiers risking their lives for Israel.
We reaffirm our call for a just and lasting peace that will protect Israel's right to a secure existence and that will also fulfill the national aspirations of the Palestinian people.
